How opera troupe Ida Girls achieve perfect harmony with Albert

Meet Ida Girls, the all female opera troupe

Before Albert

Professional opera singer Sarah Vaughan takes her vocal talents all over the world in the company of all-female opera troupe Ida Girls. Sarah, 31 from Dulwich is a founding member of the four-piece group. Having met while performing in Gilbert & Sullivan's Princess Ida, they were inspired by the success of Il Divo, and decided it was high time for an all-girl opera group.

“Even on the go Albert keeps us on track with invoicing, automatically sending us a copy so we know it’s in hand. It’s amazing!”

As an incorporated company the four singers split the administration of the business. As Sarah explains, “We’re totally self sufficient. We do everything ourselves. We all have different skills but despite this it can be still stressful. For example, dealing with issues like tax and invoicing was hard to keep track of, especially when we are on the road so often.

With Albert

After another musician recommended Albert for its ease of use, now all four of Ida use it to keep track of the group’s finances. It is essential in keeping them up-to-date with invoicing and tax, simplifying the process and sending helpful updates and reminders:

“Dealing with issues like tax and invoicing was hard to keep track of, especially when we are on the road so often”

“We are constantly travelling, at least one or two weeks a month is spent on the road. One day we might perform at Trafalgar Square, the next a festival in Australia. While it’s great to be so busy, in among the travel we are terrible at remembering to invoice! However, even on the go Albert keeps us on track with invoicing, automatically sending us a copy so we know it’s in hand. It’s amazing!”

With Ida Girls’ finances in Albert’s safe hands, the singers can now concentrate on what they do best - hitting the high notes with audiences across the world.
